Interesting point which I hadn't thought about.
I had assumed the "standard DMCA language and takedown notices" would be sent to gt.ru admin by PG. It's bad enough being told by gt.ru staff you've made a cock up. It would be quite worrying to be told by a third party.
And I see what you mean by having that third party apparently able to manipulate posts on the site.
I'm sure I'm getting the wrong end of several sticks ???
After weeks of careful negotiation, Piracy Stops Here, dba Porn Guardian is very pleased to announce that it has consummated a deal with the highly popular peer-2-peer sharing torrent site GayTorrent.ru, located in the Russian Republic. Porn Guardian has traced thousands of infringing files on tube sites and cyberlocker storage sites back to initial torrents that had been housed on GayTorrent.ru. “The site owner has agreed to work with us to remove all infringing content owned by Porn Guardian clients, over the next several weeks, beginning with those files we deem to be most egregious,” said Porn Guardian partner Peter Phinney. “This is a giant step in the fight against digital piracy of adult content. It puts one of the most important, high-profile offenders on the right side of the law for the first time in years. We hope other torrent sites under pressure from our clients will follow this extraordinary example of a sea change in Peer-2-Peer sharing.”
“While Porn Guardian represents a variety of adult content niche clients, the gay side of the industry has been our mainstay for years,” added Porn Guardian partner Dominic Ford. “This new truce in the war on piracy will have a profound impact on infringements across 80% of our 350 client brands.” GayTorrent.ru has developed a special backend removal tool that will allow Porn Guardian to instantly delete infringing torrents, and then follow-up with standard DMCA language and takedown notices. Since time is of the essence in the spread of pirated material online, this new tool is a real game-changer.
“We hope that by removing torrents virtually as soon as they appear, we will be able to stem the initial spread of stolen videos,” said Phinney. “This is huge for the gay side of adult!” Porn Guardian continues to negotiate with other torrent networks and the owners of GayTorrent.ru have agreed to do what they can to encourage their colleagues to follow their example. “We spend a great deal of time promoting legal business models to the more prolific piracy networks, and combining that push to bring illicit sites into compliance with the law, with the extreme pressure Porn Guardian exerts on payment processors, banks, advertising networks and credit card companies has really paid off,” said Peter Phinney. “We’re using a carrot and stick approach, and it’s working.”
By making monetization extremely difficult, and by offering an alternative, legal approach and a new rights-compliant business model, Porn Guardian hopes to change to face of piracy, one offending site at a time. “The piracy problem didn’t come about overnight,” added Dominic Ford. “It’s going to take some time to turn things around. But this is a key change we hope everyone will look back to in coming years and say ‘That’s when we finally began to win the war.”
Taken with Porn Guardian’s work providing evidence in several successful, high-profile legal cases including the end of Oron.com, and Porn Guardian’s unique monetization program for content owners through FilesMonster.com, the protection of intellectual property rights in adult now seems plausible. Where there was only despair about piracy a year ago, there is now a glimmer of hope that continued diligence, pressure against indifference, and offers of a better way through compliance might finally bring piracy under control and effect some permanent solutions to protect content distribution and intellectual property rights.

I was alerted to this from another site. I wonder if anyone here has a comment.
Hi, daresme, I got that one too.
Perhaps a gay torrent site isn't the best place for audio books 
I used to download quite a lot for a sight-impaired neighbour.
If you type "audio books torrent" into your search engine it should come up with quite a few sites.
Usenet also has some groups for books
Happy listening 
Dax, I do know, I've tried ;D
I'm quite happy to leave arty stuff to our more arty members :worship:
But happy to help if/when I can 
Just wonder if it might be a good idea to make the banner 'clickable' so people didn't need to type the SIG URL
For instance this:
[url][img]https://www.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket/07_1371601362.jpg[/img][/url]
<<< click on picture
And no, I'm useless at artwork but enjoy fiddling with BB code

Edit: this works as intended in preview mode but as soon as I post it the click picture doesn't go to the group site. Right-click, open in new tab works OK. Any ideas 
Jitterbug, you might like to read a previous post https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?topic=19693.msg91728 which adds a little more
Is he taking the piss!
I'd ask for your money back - will come in handy for Christmas presents 
Sorry for being a pain…but why not just save them into separate folders and upload the folders as folders. No need for fancy file formats
I would second that, having the option, I mean. I was just saying to someone the other day that when you see a crap upload you don't know if it's a first timer who needs a helping hand or a crap uploader who really needs help!!
And you can get to know uploaders whose quality you can trust
Thank you, it's just I like to keep people up-to-date on GTN when they ask. Getting them to keep up-to-date with my up-dates is a whole different matter
Always grateful for new torrents…but one torrent, 110,000 pictures !!!
Wouldn't it be better to split them into groups ???
Just a thought
It's good to know that there are no wars, no poverty, no hunger and everyone has clean water. Gives all these people a chance to get out onto the streets for what really matters
:afr:
Call me old-fashioned but yes, I use a browser to do exactly that. I don't want to be deeply, socially integrated. 'people' do browse a lot, techy people want to fiddle. Last time we had a 'more intuitive' Firefox it took me ages to get it back to how I, intuitively, wanted it to work.
Netscape with tabs sounds good to me
I think it's a good idea to donate
for invitesto make the site sustainable.
My edit. Most sites I know make the exchange of anything other than :bighug: for an invite a flogging offence.
I have no great feeling one way or another, I just wanted to pass any change of policy on
